The score was close

The score was close

I've done a search of questions and checked a couple of different dictionaries, and cannot find the Spanish phrase for "the score (of a game) was close." The translator gives some awkward-sounding phrases such as "el marcador fue cerca" which just don't sound correct to me. What would a native speaker say to express the idea of a close, competitive game? Thanks!

Aside from reñido, how does casi igual sound?

Another synonym: El resultado fue/estuvo igualado.
